There are two new items for the World’s Most Popular Stand Mixer In The World*. I’m writing of the KitchenAid Stand Mixer, not some other mixer.
The first is the BeaterBlade. Available from Amazon, this handly little device is just like the paddle attachment on your stand mixer, except that it has some silicone bits around [...]
I’ve been on a bit of a kick recently trying a bunch of fruit sodas. Well, citrus-flavored sodas, really. So I figured it was time to do something worthwhile with the kick and tell you, my loyal readers, what you can expect from these beverages.

Khymos.org has wrapped up its most recently flavor pairing challenge “They Go Really Well Together” (TGRWT) #11: Banana and Cloves. The TGRWT challenges are a general web challenge to create new dishes that use a non-traditional flavor pairing.
